Xiaoxiao.

But if he knew that the Vermilion Fruit was part of a huge conspiracy, why did he still let Wu Ren and Ying Yue absorb it?

This was the result of his careful consideration:

First and foremost, it needs to be made clear that the red fruit is of great significance to the difficult situation they are currently in.

At first, it was believed that the Vermilion Fruit could solve all problems once and for all, but as the conspiracy behind it gradually surfaced, everything became less certain.

However, there is no doubt that the Vermilion Fruit possesses a magical ability—it can effectively transform the powerful energy contained in the beast's core.

Therefore, once they successfully absorb the Vermilion Fruit, they can directly use the energy in the beast core for cultivation, thereby greatly improving their strength and cultivation level.

Secondly, through repeated observation and research, the two vermilion fruits in front of us are without any problems.

The most important point is that their current situation has reached a point where there is no time to lose and no room for hesitation.

Faced with such a thorny situation, they were at a loss and could not find any effective solutions.

However, at this moment, the solution is right in front of us. Although it may contain some unpredictable risks and hidden dangers, it can at least help them get out of their predicament and resolve the crisis.

As the saying goes, "choose the lesser of two evils," the most pressing issue at this time is solving the problem of the source of their spiritual energy.

Only by solving this problem can the two of them avoid the fatal predicament of being unable to improve their cultivation, which in turn causes the spiritual energy in their bodies to run wild and become completely uncontrollable.

Moreover, as time went on, this uncontrollable situation became increasingly apparent, like the Sword of Damocles hanging over their heads, seriously threatening their lives and property, and reaching a critical moment that could not be delayed and urgently needed to be resolved.

The threat posed by the forces behind the Vermilion Fruit was like a dark cloud far away, while the threat of spiritual energy to life was right at hand.

After careful consideration and weighing the pros and cons, Kuang Zheng resolutely chose to let his companion absorb the Vermilion Fruit.

Although the power behind Zhu Guo is enormous and awe-inspiring, it is something they cannot contend with at present, and they don't even have a chance to resist.

However, if they give up now, it means that their companions' last chance of survival will also be lost.

Perhaps a miracle will happen, but in these long five years, more than a thousand days and nights, they have longed for a miracle to appear countless times.

However, miracles are always like those distant stars, something you can only look at but never reach.

So this time, he resolutely chose to believe in himself.

He firmly believed that if Ying Yue and Wu Ren were sober at this moment, they would definitely make the same choice as him without hesitation.

Although the power behind Zhu Guo is very strong, so strong that he feels suffocated just thinking about it.

But ever since he embarked on the path of cultivation, every step has been fraught with danger, every step has been fraught with hardship, and every step has been a defiance of the heavens.

As the saying goes, once you embark on the path of cultivation, every step is fraught with danger and death.

But since I've made this choice, I'll give it my all.

Because there's no going back in life, and you can't relive your life.

Hesitation leads to a lifetime of stagnation, while looking back and forth only leads to a lifetime of stagnation.

He didn't want to live that kind of life. Since Heaven had brought him into this world and he had received a mysterious inheritance, he wouldn't turn back and would keep going!

At this moment, the heart of a strong person was born.

Although the road ahead was fraught with difficulties, he strode forward with his head held high, without complaint or regret.

With Kuang Zheng's help, the two people beside him stabilized their condition, and as time went by, they gradually showed encouraging changes.

First is Wu Ren. His strength had long since reached the Foundation Establishment stage, but due to the lack of spiritual energy, his realm could not be improved.

The vast difference in realm and strength caused the spiritual energy within the body to constantly become chaotic, which is a serious imbalance between the spear and the shield.

It wasn't just Wu Ren; the previous few people were the same.

The four who were forced to venture into the wilderness were unable to cultivate their "shield" (realm) to a high enough level, and were eventually riddled with holes by the spear (spiritual energy within their bodies).

After repeated explorations and consulting previous records, the remaining three finally discovered the method of using a spirit object to repair the "shield." However, absorbing the spiritual energy contained within the spirit object was only a temporary solution.

Because the spiritual resources on Penglai Planet are limited, they will eventually run out.

So over the years, while searching for spiritual objects, they have always kept track of news about the Vermilion Fruit.

However, as Wu Ren fully absorbed the Vermilion Fruit, the spiritual energy within his body continued to increase.

Unlike before, with the increase of spiritual energy, the realm that had been completely stagnant finally showed a welcome change.

Kuang Zheng could clearly feel that the pressure emanating from Wu Ren's body was becoming significantly stronger. Unlike the oppressive feeling produced by innate martial artists, this was a pressure unique to cultivators.

Suddenly, a ten-meter square dark cloud formed above Wu Ren's head, with flashes of lightning constantly appearing within it, accompanied by muffled thunderclaps.

As his cultivation level continued to rise, powerful lightning flashed within the dark cloud.

The purple lightning was tiny and could not compare to the thunder and lightning of nature.

The aura he exuded was so subtle that even Kuang Zheng on the other side looked at him with new respect.

Ying Yue's transformation was also delightful. As the Vermilion Fruit was completely absorbed, her originally ethereal temperament now possessed an even more otherworldly quality.

The same majesty gradually emanated from her body, and purple protective energy burst forth.

In the blink of an eye, Ying Yue was completely enveloped by the purple protective aura, looking like a purple silkworm cocoon.

Just then, something unexpected happened!

Suddenly, a purple Kunpeng leaped out from the protective aura, though it was only three meters square.

Every detail of the miniature Kunpeng is incredibly realistic; you can even faintly see glistening water vapor on its long fins.

With the appearance of Kunpeng, Ying Yue's aura immediately rose significantly.

A strong wind rose from the ground, stirring up withered branches and fallen leaves within a radius of a hundred miles.

After careful observation, Kuang Zheng discovered that both the dark clouds above Wu Ren's head and the Kunpeng above Ying Yue's head were illusions conjured within their bodies and posed no harm to them. Therefore, he stopped paying attention to them and focused on protecting the Dharma while sorting out the spoils of the day.

Although the final outcome is still unknown, it is not difficult to see from the aura emanating from the two and their constantly improving realm that the transformation of them by the Vermilion Fruit is gratifying.

Although the specific conspiracy of the forces behind the scenes is still unknown, the changes in the two people are real.

The problem of being troubled by spiritual energy has finally been resolved to a fairly good degree today.

The road ahead may be treacherous, but with the heart of a hero, he is fearless...
